This Feeling
Tinashe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Top off, let's get to business
No intermissions, those my intentions
His hands... feel em upon me
This man... totally got me
I dance, call it a hobby
He is the music movin' my body
And if you want me for your own
Then I'ma say it like
Don’t... let...
Don’t let this feelin' fade
I said
Don’t... let...
Don’t let this feelin' fade away
he get me high then he go low
Slow dance... I'm never lonely
Romance... love it when he hold me
Roll, pass... he's got that OG
You know my baby grow
Good shit for me
London is callin'
First class, kickin' back, me and my darlin'
I'm like "baby I don't need all this"
He reply "baby we ballin'"
You better not let me go
And if you want me for your own
Then I'ma say it like
Don’t... let..
Don’t let this feelin' fade
I said
Don’t... let...
Don’t let this feelin' fade away
Us two, you and I
Us two, you and I
He get me high, then he go low
In Tinashe's song "This Feeling," she describes the intense connection she feels with her partner. The opening lines suggest that Tinashe's partner is willing to take risks to be with her, and the two of them are eager to get down to business. The lyrics also indicate that Tinashe's partner is fully invested in her, and she feels it through his touch. Tinashe describes her love for dancing and how her partner's music moves her body. The chorus emphasizes the importance of not letting the intense feeling of love fade away, and the song explores the ups and downs of being in a romantic relationship.
In the second verse, Tinashe paints a picture of a luxurious lifestyle with her partner. They are traveling in first class and enjoying the finer things in life. Although Tinashe doesn't need all of these extravagant things, they are a symbol of the love and value her partner puts on her. The song's bridge repeats the line "us two, you and I," emphasizing their connection, and reminding them to hold onto it through the highs and lows.
